Kanamachi

Kanamachi is a popular Bangladeshi and Indian village game. It is played mainly by children and is one of the popular in Bangladeshi villagers. Children living in towns and cities also love the game in great amounts.

Rules

Kanamachi is not restricted to certain rules, but there are common and widely used rules that most people maintain.

1. First the players choose one of them to be the Kanamachi. This is done by a toss or other methods.
2. The Kanamachi puts a cloth on his/her eyes and fasten it tightly, so that he/she cannot see things around.
3. Then the Kanamachi tries to catch other players.
4. Other players have to touch the Kanamachi and get to a safe place where the Kanamchi cannot catch him/her.
5. Once the Kanamachi manages to catch a fellow player, that player (who is caught) turns into the new Kanamachi. The former Kanamachi becomes a normal player.
6. The game is often restricted to an area, and the players cannot go beyond the range, so that the Kanamachi does not have a great deal of difficulty in catching a player.
